Cosmetic Truths cuts through marketing claims, viral trends, and influencer hype to examine what’s really behind cosmetic products, treatments, and procedures. We break down the science, regulation, and reality — without bias or brand spin.

No hype. No fear-mongering. Just facts, context, and common sense. Plus some sass and fun

Is gaming actually a waste of time — or is it doing more for mental health than we give it credit for?

In this episode of The Sassy Blueprint Podcast, Sassy Sarah and The Engineer break down why gaming can act as stress relief, emotional regulation, and focus training — especially for people who struggle to “switch off” in traditional ways.

We talk about:

• Why gaming regulates the nervous system better than passive scrolling

• The difference between avoidance and healthy escapism

• How structure, challenge, and feedback impact mental wellbeing

• Why the “gaming is a waste of time” argument misses the point

This isn’t about glorifying screen time or ignoring addiction.
It’s about understanding why gaming works for some people — and why dismissing it outright is outdated thinking.

Ever been into someone…
Then ONE behaviour completely kills it?

That’s the ick.

In this episode, Sassy Sarah and The Engineer break down the most common (and savage) icks — from bad hygiene and bragging to social media chaos, table manners and communication habits that make attraction evaporate.

We cover:

• The universal ick no one survives
• Why bragging is insecurity in disguise
• Social media behaviours that kill attraction
• Chewing noises, misophonia and instant rage
• Communication and lifestyle habits your brain flags as “nope”

Funny, honest, slightly brutal — and backed by psychology.

You’ve either had the ick…
or caused one.

• Why consistency beats duration

• How short workouts affect brain chemistry and stress

• Why movement helps regulate mood (especially for neurodiverse brains)

Ever woken up furious at your partner for something they did in a dream?
Or convinced your teeth are falling out… again?

You’re not broken, your brain is just being dramatic.

You’ll hear:

• Why cheating dreams feel so emotionally real

• What recurring dreams usually signal (hint: not prophecy)

• Why stress turns into bizarre dream metaphors

• How sleep habits, stress and routine affect dream intensity

• Why talking about dreams can reduce anxiety and spark arguments

It’s funny, relatable, slightly chaotic and reassuring if your brain likes to misbehave at night.
